Darren
...help them unlock their potential for success, I want people to respect themselves, their family, friends, all of society. I hope to do whatever I can to make society a better place, to improve our understanding of the Universe, and hopefully ourselves. (= Have fun learning! :Dd (Also, MATHEMATICS is one of my strongest suits)

Chase
...above all an abiding respect for reason: a lifelong conviction that they can understand reality and make sense of the world. However, a great teacher does much more than merely recite the content of his subject. I intend to encourage and motivate each one of my students to perform academically, at a level no less...

Braxton
...My job is interesting, active, and varied, but I missed tutoring and want to make math and other subjects as easy as possible to approach and grasp for students. With the right time and a commitment to tailoring a tutoring style for the person being assisted, any student can pass their classes and retain lifelong...

...I also tutor in reading and writing and some social studies. During a normal tutoring session, I like to break down the problem into smaller, easier parts and then discuss how it ties into the whole of the problem. Answering 'how' or 'why' is much more important than regurgitating it straight out.... I believe that understanding the core of concepts and how they apply to the material is much more important for overall success.

...need a teacher. History abounds with examples of men and women like Abraham Lincoln who rose to the pinnacle of human intellect and capability more or less without any need for a teacher. Unfortunately, these people are the exception by far. Most of us do need guidance, and that is why people like me have...

...a far more organized and efficient student now than I was as a child (as evidenced by my solid college academic record), I've implemented changes in my study habits and lifestyle which truly worked. When I work with my students, I often share tips with them which worked for me to set them on the...

Casey
...act as a motivator for my students, combatting the view that many students have of math as "pointless". Outside of tutoring, I like to play music and be outdoors. I have been playing guitar and piano for most of my life. I also love backpacking, kayaking, paddle boarding, biking, and exploring in general.... There are two main virtues that I focus on in my philosophy of teaching: patience and empathy. Patience is absolutely necessary to teach effectively. When I first began tutoring, I would find myself giving a short explanation of why I performed some step in a math question which I wasn't concerned about, and I would ignore if the student didn't understand that step since I was rushed to get to the main point of the question. Quality is more important than quantity when it comes to teaching. I would much rather walk away from a tutoring session feeling that a student deeply understands every detail of only one question than having a shallow understanding of several questions. Regarding empathy, I find it important to try to remember what it was like to struggle as a student. Learning from a tutor has an emotional factor to it, in that the tutee is struggling or wants additional assistance with something, and might be afraid of judgment from the tutor. They might think, "He might think I'm stupid," or, "She won't want to help me because I haven't been good enough." It is so important to me to ensure that the student does not feel stupid. In my opinion, there is nothing more inhibiting to a student's success than the student thinking he/she is stupid. Uplifting students (especially those who are in need) by putting myself in their shoes and treating them as an equal is something I always try to implement in my teaching.

...specialty are high school math and science. I also work with students who want to improve their scores on the SAT and ACT. I have been tutoring for over 10 years and have helped hundreds of students conquer their fears, gain confidence and earn the highest grades possible in their respective subjects. I look forward...

Eugene
I am currently in my second year of pharmacy school at Butler University. I believe the only limitations for a student are the limits they place upon themselves. I strive to show students their possibilities they can achieve and guide them along the way. I could not have gotten to where I am today without...

...that they would now get through the class successfully. I had so much success as a tutor in college that a lady who worked in the main office of my department contacted me for algebra tutoring sessions because she was going back to school to get a degree, and she ended up getting an A...
